Today I finished an A/C repair to my grandsons car including a rebuilt compressor, new dryer/filter and new condenser. I bought Harbor Freight gauges and vacuum pump . I’ve never done A/C work before. I watched many KZbin videos and jumped in. The car is now blowing COLD air. My point is , Matt, that we appreciate the time you take to video and share your project information with us knuckledraggers. From what I researched, my efforts saved about a grand. I spent $500 for parts, refrigerant, oil, o rings...tools. I’ve enjoyed your Tahoe fix up . Dave Heitman Semper Fidelis.

you're a badass but get that kid to do his own work!

[@FordSeniorMaster]

Dude! That opening clip had me laughing SO hard!!!! Your response and reaction was EXCELLENT 😂. "OH that is, that is terrific." 😅

[@jackpatterson20]

Last time I was this early the LSX was still stock

[@user_name_took]

Seeing you not use the strap is like 'aaaaaaaaaaAAAA' shoulda made it work xD

[@nevanuffSupra]

Transmission needs alignment pulling to the right lol

[@itsgr82bl8]

I made a similar mistake putting the transmission and transfer case into my Wrangler. What I found is using an impact to lower the jack gives the screw under the jack that does the lifting momentum. With the impact wrench there is nothing to keep it from freely spinning so once you get that screw spinning at a higher RPM and keep in mind I did the same thing and just gave my jack a couple quick pops with my impact the weight of the transmission keeps the screw spinning, since the impact wrench has nothing to stop the screw from spinning the whole thing will come crashing down. I ended up with a nice hole on my transfer case where it hit the transmission jack when everything slammed to the bottom. After looking the manual states in big bold letters " DO NOT USE AN IMPACT WRENCH" It was a lesson I learned, I now have a hole in my transfer case to fix and a broken finger. Hopefully this will help somebody getting ready to use this jack, while it's more work and it can be a bit tedious do not use an impact wrench you run a very high risk of getting hurt, or damaging your transmission!

Get an adjustable belt with a buckle, old school seat belt works so good for that

[@SIRICKO]

Beginning had me rollin lol

[@MustangGuru]

This just answered my question about quick jacks being high enough for trans removal.

[@schadmoxey7848]

The blue and black checkered accent on the wall looks good man.

[@patrickmeade2052]

Just saw you and trans am earlier today while I was walking home, car looks so much better in person

[@pokerjunky]

Omg 😮 glad you weren’t hurt I would’ve saved you though 😍 be careful 🥰

[@MrLarryDallas45]

That trans dropping like that had me in Homer Simpson D'OH! mode! BTW, Good meeting you the other day in Auto Zone!

[@tuloko16]

I have never done that... the best part is wresling the transmission back on to the jack...

[@colesherman]

Did the same damn thing trying to get our t56 in the race car on jack stands, damn heavy things.

[@adam0bt]

The hydraulic harbor freight is nice, but my t56 can barely get out from under the car when it's on race ramps. It hits in places but it's workable.

[@jamesingram4649]

I can tell by the vids that the quickjacks would be good for brakes and removing wheels but my closterfobia would over whelm me not being able to escape from the side and not being able to turn 180 on my creeper

[@lsxmatt]

Lmfao yea I know exactly what you mean😂

[@davidelizalde4132]

What’s the damage inside of the transmission when that happens?

[@RareRS]

Make a video about what the top 10 best 3rd gen upgrades are

[@juancabrera2525]

Well at least the muffler didnt drop and hit you in the cojones like it did me one time 😆. Great vid dude!

[@HapaHeritage]

Yeah the strap sucks but it's a really great jack if you manually lower it lol

[@Twingreenberg]

I accidentally dropped a old school powerglide and when I put it in the shifts are really rough. Did I mess anything up with the fall or is it just old and need a rebuild ? Also it was sitting for a bit

[@Bryaniskey]

"That is terrific" I said that same thing when I let my engine down and it hit my radiator and broke it on accident 😒💯🤣

[@BmwMe-uh9sy]

STRAP IT DOWN

[@IROCZman15]

I am curious about what you have wired up to the switches in the ash tray plate. I have a similar switch setup, but mine are for nitrous purge, arming, bottle heater, bottle opener. what are you using your's for? you should have brought the car out to Maple Grove this weekend for the big Chevy show/race. I took my 87 and had a blast. 3 days, 332 miles, lots of fun. good show cars and drag cars all weekend.

[@lsxmatt]

I wish I had it together, I’ve had the trans out for like a month now. Didn’t even hit the track once this year. For my buttons I’m using them for my intercooler pump, intercooler fans, soon to be 2 step, and my parking camera in the front bumper.

[@obsbennett1998]

I’ve got to do this to my truck cuz it slips. lol

[@timothysettle9116]

I'm sure that huge strap is for large transmissions,Truck,SUV's and such.

[@ampz7778]

This is how many people are disappointed because the transmission fell ⬇️ (WHERES THE LSX SQUAD🤗👍)

[@MegaBobtube]

Did it ruined your nice clean floor?

[@mokujin6507]

Clicking too fast i got 360p still watching tho

[@MustangGuru]

That trans jack is the worst. I have one. I now only use it to lift my mower. My transmission hit the ground as welll

[@Thirdgen83]

What brand of polyurethane mount is that? Did it come with an extra plate?

[@lsxmatt]

I think its energy suspension. I got it from Amazon and I don’t think it had an extra plate.

[@Thirdgen83]

Are your engine mounts polyurethame as well?

[@jessekaleb]

Where did you learn about how to do this stuff?

[@lsxmatt]

Most of it I just learn as I go. I’m also a mechanic as my day job.

[@chemicalspore]

Ouch

[@MattSeals]

I like this content - its so usefull and helpfull.

[@d4ve587]

Great job 👌 😎.

[@motorola12slvr]

When are you going to make trans am “merchandise”

[@lsxmatt]

Good idea, I haven’t even thought about it

[@Lordspaghett]

Ehh could have been worse. A friend of mine got knocked out by a vicious 4l60e one time

[@lsxmatt]

Better than an 80e😂

[@SDPP992]

Said useless strap suppose to support the trans from falling off the jack…

[@lsxmatt]

Doesn’t fit. They made the ratchet the size of something that was meant to hold logs down.

[@SDPP992]

@@lsxmatt damn that sucks

[@d.e.braxton2641]

I don't mean to laugh.....

[@1996ikey]

Where Tahoe boss?

[@Thirdgen83]

Who cares?

[@1996ikey]

I do fuck off the Tahoe is nice

[@lsxmatt]

It’ll be back soon👍

[@Thirdgen83]

Mike Brown, since you're an absolute NOBODY, I'll ask again: WHO CARES???

[@1996ikey]

I do now what u gone do
